Architectural design methods for mountainous environments
As an important part of urban space, mountains play an extremely important role in the overall landscape and ecology of cities. However, with the continuous development of urbanization and building construction, mountains have been occupied and destroyed in unreasonable ways. Therefore, with the aim of reducing the damage to mountains from construction, this paper explores the design methods to deal with the relationship between buildings and mountainous environments. The historic district of Signal Hill in Qingdao is taken as the research area, since buildings here coexist with the mountainous environment harmoniously. Through the combination of modeling and field research, the slope of the mountain can be divided into three grades: “0–5.8°”, “5.8–11.7°” and “11.7–17.3°”. Therefore, the design characteristics and distribution patterns of 20 design methods that dealt with the mountainous environment in different slope grades can be obtained. Furthermore, by analyzing the design characteristics and distribution patterns, the relationship between the design methods and the slope of mountains can be found, providing more suitable design strategies for buildings located on different slopes of mountains. For other mountain cities worldwide, these rational strategies can provide some helpful design suggestions to better use terrain. It can also reduce the amount of construction volume and damage to the mountainous environment, and further better achieve sustainable development goals.
